respondendum, which, together with the motion of plaintiff, by his attorney
aforesaid, it was ordered that the said Deft should appear at the next rules,
enter special bail and plead to the plaintiffs action, or that judgment would be
granted the plaintiff for the debt in the declaration mentioned and what damages
he hath sustained in the premises and a writ of enquiry awarded him to have the
same assessed by a jury of the bystanders at the next court."

"Jessamine county, Sct.:

   "James Dunn, by his attorney, complains of Nicholas Lewis in custody, etc.,
of a plea that he render to him the sum of seventy-two pounds, current money,
current money of Kentucky, which he owes and unjustly detains, for that,
whereas, the said defendant on the thirtieth of May, 1800, at the parish of
Kentucky, and county aforesaid, by his certain note, in writing, sealed with his
seal and to the court now here shown, eighteen months after the date aforesaid
promised and obligated himself to the plaintiff to pay him the sum of thirty-six
pounds, for the payment of which said sum the said defendant bound himself in
the penal sum of seventy-two pounds like money, yet said defendant not regarding
his obligation hath not paid the said sum of thirty-six pounds, although often
required, by means whereof an action hath accrued to have and demand of him the
said sum of seventy-two pounds. but the said defendant, to pay the same or any
part thereof, although often required the same to pay, hath hitherto refused,
and still doth refuse, wherefore the said James Dunn says he is injured and hath
sustained damage to the value of 72 pounds, and therefore, he sues, etc. Wm.
McDowell, A. P.; Jno. Doe and R. Roe, P. P."
